Private investigators Alexandra Neve and Ashford Egan are hired to find the Ruby Heart. This is a beautiful necklace which was made by a Jewish jeweler out of love for his wife. During the war the necklace was stolen, but it turned up in Italy many years later. The rightful owner Doris Hargrave retrieved this irreplaceable necklace only for it to be stolen again.

Doris is an elderly woman who is reaching the end of her life. She wants nothing more than to get the necklace back, so she can give it to her granddaughter who will be married soon. The necklace represents eternal love and a happy marriage to Doris and this is of course also what she wants for her granddaughter.

Alexandra and Ash are doing everything they can to find the necklace for Doris. They go back in time to see if they can find out who stole the necklace during the war. They are convinced that the thefts are connected. When they get closer to the truth it is obvious that some very influential criminals are trying to stop them. It is not the first time that they have been in danger but these criminals aren't ready to give up before they have completed their job.

Alexandra and Ash are a strange combination. Ash is cold and keeps his emotions hidden. Alexandra is the reckless one with a fierce character. They both have other senses which they rely upon. Ash is blind so he is a master in hearing the underlying meaning of things people are saying. He can spot a liar immediately. Alexandra is depending on her eyes and pays attention to what body language can tell her. She is also a talented artist and is good at drawing detailed pictures. Even though they are so different they are best friends and will do anything for each other.

Cristelle Comby has written a vivid story. Ruby Heart starts during the war and ends many years later. Because of the detailed descriptions you are completely sucked into the story. You read about the awful times during the war but also how Alexandra and Ashford start with their investigations and how they go from lead to lead. The Ruby Heart sounds like a beautiful piece of jewelry and its sentimental value makes it so much more important.

If you like historical mysteries then I would really recommend you to pick up a book from Cristelle Comby. She gives her stories that little extra on every part that really counts.

These books sound awesome! I love a good mystery and time travel is something that has always fascinated me.My question is: what is it like living in a french-speaking area of Switzerland? Do you speak both English and French fluently? (Also, what country would you most like to visit?) :)

Hi, Switzerland's a little strange language-wise. We have 4 official languages here :)I live near Geveva, that's in the French-speaking area, but I've had to learn German and English at school. I use both for my day-job.

I can write in French, and I manage simple stuff in German. But for some inexplicable reason, when it comes to fiction I'm more at ease writing in English. Makes no sense, I know... but that's how the muse works best :).
